CHANIA 2016

I love food. I'm a real food junkie. One of my favourite things during the weekends in London was visiting the markets, urban parts of the city and to eat, eat and eat.. And of course taking pictures of the food.

My friend Natalie made a travel bucket list, so I decided to make one too. I want this summer to be filled with traveling & adventure so I'll try to get the destinations off the list & enjoy life to the fullest.

Poor update, I know.. Follow me on Instagram - @isabeljarnstrom for daily updates. I am too busy working on the blog now but as soon as I got some time on my hands I will give my blog a makeover and start updating regularly.

Latest on instagram:

90's style - choker & nails from Primark

These nails + adhesive cost me £1 & I didn't have high expectations on the quality. Turned out to be the opposite.

Bath mode

Tried bathing in seaweed from Urban Outiftters, which was relaxing. Beauty junk lipbalm from the same store and Charity Pot hand & body lotion from LUSH.

East London vibes

East London, Shoreditch is my favourite place in London. It has an urban and cool vibe to it in comparison to other places.

My new, fresh Nike Huaraches + Calvin socks.

If you ever go to London and need sneakers. Buy them! More affordable here than in other places. Huaraches from Footlocker and CK socks from Urban Outiftters.

Visited the famous Portobello Road Market in Notting Hill last saturday. Been to it several times before but it's a great way to spend your weekend checking out all vintage stuff, having pizza slices and delicious churros. Bought some souvenirs for friends & family and some fresh veggies & fruits.

Hotel breakfast and lots of shopping is what this weekend's got in store for me. I booked an impulse trip to Stockholm for the weekend. Mum & Dad were already going so I decided to join them since I've had such an urge to travel lately. I reckoned I needed a vacay and I also look forward to visit some friends that moved there last year. The blog will be on hold for the weekend and I'll post a bunch of pictures of my trip on Monday!

Had so much fun in Åbo with my bf Jenna. Lots of talking and catching up, movienights, eating out and shopping! Also had time to meet up with Lotta, whom I shared an apartment together with while I studied in London.

Been travelling all day yesterday and got home this morning. We were actually supposed to be home at night already but our fist flight was delayed so we didn't make it to our connection flight. Luckily we just had to wait 5 hours for the next one. I did not sleep on the whole night so that was the first thing I did when I got home. Just woke up, have started unpacking and gonna clean up my wardrobe.

I had a lot of leftover pounds so I got myself some new make up from Mac, a foundation from Clinique, and a package of OPI nail laquers. Also got a gift bag from Clinique with my purschase. Better pictures and feedback on the products will come up someday.

In less than 24 hours I will be laying in my own bed in my childhood room. I am so excited to get back home. Can't wait to see my family, the cats and the dog, all my friends and just get back to my beautiful home country. Drive my car, drink tap water and eat Finnish food. Those are the smallest things I've learned to appreciate. Can't wait to get back to work and to start eating healthily and exercise and get a real routine and get rid of all this big city stress. my mum's been here the past two days and we've strutted down oxford circus, visited covent garden, done some shopping and just hung out. These are the last pictures I've taken of my London life:

My latest week and days I have had a few visitors to my place. Been doing the usual tourist stuff and showing them around and also been to all my favorite food places: ponti's italian kitchen, Tgi Friday's and ben's cookies. We also went to Sky garden today which was amazing.

Yesterday and today was lovely. It's been +16 and sunshine. Been walking around in London these past few days, drinking Starbucks macchiatos, guiding my friend who is visiting me. Today we went to The British museum and the other days we've been to see Big ben, London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Circus and street, Trafalgar square, St Jame's park, Buckingham palace, hyde park and other stuff.

I am seriously considering booking a 2 weeks trip to New York In September during fashion week. Contact me if anyone is interested in joining! Other than that I applied to a school today and did a lot of research into trends and the 70's for our styling presentation on Monday.

Me and my flatmate haven't done anything together since our travelling in Europe. We are so busy with the final assignments for our classes so all our freetime goes to studying hard. But today we went out for dinner after a successful day of shooting. We went to one of our favorite restaurants, Ponti's Italian and ordered their delicious lasagna, a glass of white wine and their homemade chocolate brownie.

Going to sleep and hopefully I will be fully rested after 8 days of travelling, shopping, eating and drinking. Heheh, it's been crazy and long days. Saying good night with a pic from Friday night in Amsterdam at club Escape.

Took the train back to London today and saw lots of beautiful landscapes. We have had a really fun time travelling, done lots of things, experienced a lot and met some really nice people. We really loved Amsterdam and I am definitely going there again.

We hired some bikes today and explored the city. It was fun cycling around this beautiful place and we also stopped to eat and shop a little bit. Just got home and we're heading out tonight again. Just need to rest a bit now hehe. Went out yesterday and they gave us a free champagne bottle to start with so that was fun.
